The Illusion that affected me greatly.
Since I learnt in the hard way that what people think about me doesn’t matter because they would only see what they want and choose a narrative they like.
My life became more better and easier after removing the illusion of pleasing people or being on their good side pays.
I don’t know about other places in the world but in my country, if you become a people pleaser it would backfire.
Because they don’t really care about you.
They only care about themselves and how they could use you to achieve their purpose.
That person who your gut tells you that they hate you but pretend like they do, really don’t like you. They are still acting that way because they think they still need you close.
It’s a scary world we live in.
But who is to blame?
We all live in our illusions. In different kinds of illusions.
Some of these illusions are from cultural beliefs, religious beliefs, peer pressure, etc.
Some of these illusions are like weapons fashioned against us. They constantly or sometimes put us in situations that are not good for us.
Some of us are in multiple illusions. And as we remove one, we have others to deal with.
